Windows 10: Unstable boot of W10 after upgrade from 1803 to 1809

Hi,


I'm diagnosing a real puzzler here. System is Windows 10 64 bit, 128 GB RAM, Intel 7980XE on Asus platform.


System runs without incident on 1803. Only errors in Event Viewer on boot are a few DCOM errors that I've backtracked as harmless. System restarts and shuts down fine.


If I let it install Feature Upgrade to 1809, or clean install 1809 from USB, I get very strange behavior. The behavior that occurs most often is that after entering passcode on the login screen, the system begins flashing a black screen with the words "Hi" or "This may take several minutes", alternating between the two of them. If I let it run, it just looped like this for over an hour with no changes.


What is strange is that it doesn't do the above at every boot. About 30% of the time, I can log in successfully with no problems whatsoever. When I go to the Event Viewer to see what happened around the problem time, I get a long list of errors as follows:



"User Profile Service Failed Logon, Remote Procedure Call Failed". (usually about 7-8 of these in a row)


"RPC Server failed to start"


"Application Popup: svchost.exe Instruction at ###### referenced memory at #######. The memory could not be written."


Because the errors varied across boots, and it sometimes booted fine, I figured it may be a bad memory stick. But the W10 standard memory test on the 128 GB produced no errors across 5 runs.


Again, it does this behavior no matter what is installed or running, because it happens even if W10 1809 is installed cleanly from USB.


Has anyone seen similar behavior, or have any ideas?


Thank you for your time!

Win 10 1803 to 1809 update

Good day one and all.

My Desktop computer running Win 10 updated from version 1803 to 1809 a while back, but my laptop/notebook running Win 10 version 1803 (As of a Check for updates today 15 Nov 2018 6:30 AM) still hasn't updated to 1809.

I'm assuming the update 1803 to 1809 has now resumed after the earlier problems caused a suspension?

Updates in general on the laptop are coming through as available, for example, yesterday (14th Nov 2018) the "Cumulative Update for Windows 10 version 1803 for x64 based Systems (KB4467702)" arrived and was installed okay.

Any thoughts, suggestions?

Thanks

Arturo

I'm past 10 days of the 1809 upgrade, can not resort back to 1803 this way. I'll try your other suggestions and reply back.
